Sony introduces the CP-A2LAPKS, a new handy wind-up USB charger

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

Being capable to recharge our iThingy or other mobile device is a luxury that many people have lost in Japan after 311 (March 2011) and having a simple wind-up charger can make a lot of difference when you need to charge a phone or tablet to communicate with the rest of the world. With this tragedy in mind, many companies like Sony has started to offer different alternative solution to help people recharge their phones or any USB powered devices on the go and without any power outlet …

JuiceTank Is An iPhone Case And A Charger In One

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

By David Ponce

It’s nice to get out of the house now and then. You might even bring your iPhone with you on those excursions. But what if you like the fresh air so much you wander far from home? And as your battery dwindles you realize that like any normal person, you’re not carrying a charger cable around with you. Calamity. Or, just get the JuiceTank, currently in the funding phase on Kickstarter. It’s a simple iPhone case that features two swiveling plug arms that fold down flat when not in use. And while the case does add minimal bulk to the phone, its got to be weighed against the practicality of being able to charge anytime, anywhere. You can get yours for $55 now, or $70 once it hits retail. The campaign has raised about one fifth of the $150,000 it needs to take off, but if successful, you’ll get delivery by July of this year.

Why Didn’t I Think Of That?: iPhone Case With Charger

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

iphone-case-charger.jpg

This is the JuiceTank, an iPhone case with integrated A/C charger. Unfortunately, it is NOT compatible with plugs in foreign countries without using a fork to adjust the socket first. *snickers*

We designed the case with a micro USB pass through so you can charge and sync your iPhone with a micro USB cord… if you have one handy. If not, you’ll always have your JuiceTank with you to recharge your iPhone.

The case will be made out of a high grade polycarbonate to protect your phone from daily wear and tear. The inside of the case will feature a soft touch rubberized finish to keep your iPhone snug and secure.

The JuiceTank is currently a Kickstarter project but $55 will get you one (eventual retail $70) if they meet their funding goal. If they don’t meet their funding goal you’ll be left with a dead iPhone at the bar with no ride home except the girl you blew off earlier because you thought you were too good for her. SPOILER: You weren’t. Now where is she? Exaaaactly, making out in the back of a cab with some guy with a Nokia.

iPhone Charging Case of the Day [geeks.thedailywh.at]

Thanks to Mark, who tried to tell me he has a satellite phone that never needs charging despite it looking suspiciously like a soup can and long piece of string. Listen: I don’t care if it’s a satellite phone or not just call down to your mom and see if she’ll bring us a grilled cheese. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

Roll Up Travel Charger

FILED IN gadgets No Comments

By David Ponce

This roll-up travel charger comes with one wall plug and four different charging tips: iPhone®, Mini USB, Micro USB, Samsung. Samsung?… Anyway, yes you can recharge up to four gadgets at once and although it looks like brown leather, it’s actually pleather. This does take away a little from its rugged Indiana Jones-y vibe but we don’t care because we won’t be buying this. We’ve been trying to determine the odds of ever being in a situation where four different devices with four different connector types need to be recharged simultaneously and the numbers don’t look good. Then again, we failed math so don’t take our word for it.

It’s $50.
